I work remotely in DC from Maine. I'm planning on going down to Bethesda a couple times this summer for work and to mess around. After glancing in here once by accident, I'm now thinking this will be the place to go to line up a match? and apparently find a good restaurant?? hah

I think Im giving up on full poly for a while.
Im trying maxim touch with thin poly crosses but it doesnt last long.
going to try string savers but if that doesnt work I might have to be a $ natty gut guy$!

my go to multi right now is prince premeir control (thanks to paulman suggestion) -- it's super crisp with a fairly slick coating...so it doesn't seem to move a ton...like some multis (still moves a little)

I have been a gut main/poly cross guy for 6+ years now. I've toyed w/ different polys over the years (TopSpin Concept Pure, Lux Ice, Kirschbaum Pro Line II, MSV Co Focus, etc.), but they're usually in the 1.23-1.25mm range. Gut is almost always 17g, except when going down to FL, in which case I bump it to 16L.

Current setup is Pacific Tough Gut 17 / Pacific Poly Power Pro 1.25 (Pacific sent me some samples w/ my last order, and I really liked the Poly Power Pro).

I never got down with the maxim touch. Full bed was OK but always seemed to go back to biphase. now that crap is like mad expensive.

Gut is pretty sweet.

One of those Ti-80s I bought came with gut/PHT. played pretty well, but tension was too low for me with that frame.

Maxim touch mains are playing great for me. Poly crosses play amazing for an hour but then notch and dont get the same spin.
im thinkin bout trying string savers byt I should prolly just try full maxim.
want to try bkack zone cuz it would be $2 per half set!
or quasi armor&bighitterblue
Or gut/poly but it better last or id be pizzed
The number of string possibilities has left me dazed & confused

It's constantly changing haha I usually sell what I'm not using but I'll snap a photo. I think I have 3 q5x's, 2 7g's, 1 ki5x, 2 pure storm tours, 2 technifibre tfight 325, poglb, poglb that's chopped, some pure drives, bunch of head prestige classics? There are definitely more - just can't think of them now.

hey HW, send me that Wise tension head if ur not playing. Wooo!

hey Sup if you want to drink 10 beers and then play to the death... let me know! :twisted:

im going crazy trying to find the right strings for the blade. hybrids feel great but not enough control for my delpo forehand winner attempts. no full poly has played well for more than 1 outing.
just want to forget about the 1billion string varieties and focus on my fitness and technique.

I did a little research. I've played 3 matches for our 4.5 team, all of them doubles, and all of them vs. 4.0s. No offense to any 4.0s out there, but if I don't start getting some competition soon, I'm going to get crushed at Districts.

On the positive side, I'm playing in a tournament this weekend at Rock Creek Park, so hopefully there are some good players.

anyone tried out the Steam 99s? Was thinking about picking one up used and trying it out? is it low powered and is it really crazy spin?

Was thinking about needing a reason to get rid strings I don't like besides selling it or trading it for something that I'll end up selling again. =P

Was thinking about trying the VCore Xi 100 as well. Really like the Ai100, it's really predictable but needs lead to increase swingweight. The racquet is amazingly stable and easily cuts through the air (ahem... easy to swing with) for it's head size/weight.

McLovin: Them PK's are still going but not as strong as I am getting weaker.. I need to get some of them Spinach in your diet to get your Popeye Forearms.

Speaking of Spinach and other healthy foods that i tend to avoid, what's for lunch?

They're having a demo special now @ TW: $1 demo for their spin frames (see http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/tradeinspin.html ). They have two packages: The 'pro wannabe' and the 'pu$sy hacker' (may not be the actual package names, but I'm its something similar).

I ordered the 'extreme hacker' for my wife as she commented the other day about maybe trying some new frames. It has the Juice 100S and the three Steam 'Spin Effect' models. They are also offering a trade-in program for a Spin Effect frame. Not sure how this compares to TW's trade-in program, though.
